Andre I have been working with the NIO quite extensively for the last few months. Here's my take on the problem. I believe as of HttpClient 4.0 we should no longer maintain 1.2 (actually HttpClient is still fully jre 1.2 compatible) compatibility. That would enable us to leverage some of NIO features primarily new Buffer and Charset classes. This said, in my opinion there's absolutely nothing that NIO can bring in in terms of performance to client-side applications. The channel multiplexing functionality of NIO can _potentially_ improve performance and scalability of server applications by allowing to do away with the 'one thread per socket' model. The mileage may vary, though, depending upon a particular JRE implementation and the costs of thread creation and context switching in a specific OS.
